He had been awake for a while now, but he stil couldn't open his eyes. Which meant the only thing he had done in the last ten minutes, was lay down. While the constant feeling of a headache and his whole body arching from the past bruises, where the only thing he could feel. He could only slightly move his fingertips, touching what felt like soft fabric beneath him. He could feel how his head was placed on something that seemed to mold around his head, while keeping his head tucked up a bit. Only thing coming to his mind being a pillow, he came to the conclusion that he were probably placed on a bed. Where, he didn't know.

The sound of what he could only imagen being a door opening and closing, could be heared only a few metres away. While the sound of rattling could be heard to his left. He chose to stay still, while trying to figure out what was happening. Only to hear the concerned voice of a too familiar classmate- "Are you sure he's gonna be okay?" the voice of Midoriya. The sound of more rattling could be heared to his right "You heard what Recovery Girl said Midoriya, just as well as i did" another voice said. A voice he couldn't quite place to begin with, but soon came to the conclusion that it had to be Kirishimas voice.

A hand grasped his left hand, holding it between a pair of hands that could only be Midoriyas. Since he could feel some of his past scars, and Kirishimas hands are a bit bigger then Midoriyas. "I know, im just.. just, really worried okay. You heard what she said, he may get permanent damage!" Permanent? he let his thought run wild, while trying to hear what the permanent damage may be.

But when they didn't seem to say what it were about, he chose to make his presence noticeable. Moving his fingertips slightly over Midoriyas palm, making the greenette squeek in shock. He jumped back from the bed with wide eyes, making the red head oposite him, raise an eyebrow. "Whats wrong Midoriya?" Kirishima tried to ask. But the greenette didn't answer, he only slightly pointed at the supose to be, sleeping boy on the bed. "He moved" The red heads eyes widened before returning to their normal composure. He moved slightly closer to the bed, while the greenette did the same.

They both stood in silence for a moment, before the red haired boy decided to take matters in his own hands. He moved a bit closer to the bed, while laying a hand on the dual haired boys shoulder. Gently shaking it, to not cause any more damage to the already damaged boy. "Todobro? Are you awake?" He said, trying not be too loud incase he weren't awake yet, but still kept his eyes fixated on the dual haired boys figure. 

When nothing happened, the greenette chose to try. "Hey, Todoroki-kun.. If you can hear me, try moving your fingers again" They both kept their eyes fixated on the damaged boy, while waiting for just the smallest hint of him being awake. When a little 'thud' sound could be heared over and over, while the dual haired boys left pointer-finger could be seen bouncing up and down in small movements, trying to catch the two other boys attentions.

Todoroki tried opening his eyes ones again, doing his absolute best to try and pry his eyelids open. But soon realised it were harder than he imagened. His finger stopped bouncing as he were pretty sure the others knew of his presence and decided to use his remaining energy on his eyes.

And finally, his eyelids opened, welcoming the entense light from the celing lamps and reflections coming from the white walls. He blinked while trying to move his right arm up to shield against the blinding lights, but quickly hissed out as the small movement at his left arm caused an intense pain to rise from his wrist- to his shoulder. His arm fell back against his side, as he still tried to make out the two others in the room, his sight still too blinded by the lights.

"Todoroki-kun! Are you alright?" He blinked a few more times, before he could finally make out the greenette who stood at his left side. He tried to say something, only to realise no sound left his lips. His mismatched eyes widened slightly in shock, as he didn't understand what was happening. Turning his gaze towards the red head to his right, while having a questioning expression all over his face.

"Ah.. Todobro, you shouldn't try and talk for a while" Now he looked even more confused. The red head seemed to understand the struggle, behind the dual haired boys expression. "Your vocal cords got burned badly, so Recovery Girl said that you should keep quiet until they heal. As it may cause permanent damage to your thoat and voice" So that was it..He turned his gaze back towards the green haired boy, a questioning gaze still littering over his face.

Midoriya tried to understand what the other wanted, but couldn't. "I dont know what you are trying to say" He said in a calm voice. The younger only answered by looking at his apparently bandaged left arm, trying to ask the question of- "What other injuries do i have?". Midoriyas eyes lit with realisation "You wanna know about your injuries?" he asked, while the only answer the other could muster was a slight smile forming on his lips, before going back to their normal neutral expression.

"Alright.." The greenette trailed off, as he gave a quick glans towards the red head opposite him. Unsure of if he were the right person, to tell the two toned boy about the damage caused to his body. The red head nodded, before turning his gaze back towards the two toned boy. Midoriya turned his gaze back towards the other, before taking a deep breath "Recovery Girl told us about some of your injuries.." He trailed off as he looked back at the red head. Kirishima seemed to get the hint and turned to Todoroki. "You may not me able to do hero training.. for two-three weeks".
